"Residency teaching programs have two equally important missions: educating tomorrow's doctors and caring for today's patients.
This report offers observations made in 23 family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatric resident teaching clinics around
the United States. We found that several of those residency programs are demonstrating that good education for tomorrow's
doctors requires excellent care for today's patients. Currently, clinics that train the nation's future primary care physicians
face major challenges. Faculty physicians and resident learners often spend only one to two half-days per week in clinic,
making it difficult to provide continuity of care and prompt access for patients, who are often from underserved communities.
Moreover, a "training gap" exists between the inpatient focus of many residency programs and the reality that the majority
of health care occurs in the outpatient setting. Residents and medical students are less likely to enter ambulatory primary
care careers as a result of poor experiences in teaching clinics. The observations offered in this report are based on detailed
site visits conducted from 2013 to 2015 by a team from the Center for Excellence in Primary Care (CEPC) at the University
of California, San Francisco. The observations are organized according to the primary care improvement model—the Building
Blocks of High-Performing Primary Care—which includes 10 features of good primary care"--Executive summary

Patients with complex health care needs represent a small but growing sector of the U.S. population. Most patients in this
high-cost group are Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions, frequent hospitalizations and limitations on
their ability to perform basic daily functions because of physical, mental and psychosocial challenges. Given that health
care spending for people with five or more chronic conditions is 17 times higher than for those without them, health policy
experts are looking toward care management as a means to improve quality and control costs for patients with complex health
care needs. A new report from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Synthesis Project explores the various care management programs
which seek to reduce costs and enhance quality for people with complex health care needs
